The roof is almost finished at the Wallman Wellness Center aquatic addition.
Arched roof trusses are in place, and east and west walls are complete as the project moves closer to being enclosed enough so crews to work on the interior of the building unimpeded by winter weather.
The full project is scheduled to be complete by late summer 2016.
The $11 million project is completely student funded. Students voted in spring 2013 to approve construction and bond financing through student fees. Those fees will increase in the fall of 2016 to support operations of the facility.
The project includes a leisure pool, lap pool, sauna, fire pit, a “wet” classroom for activities like scuba instruction, gender-neutral locker rooms and additional women’s and men’s locker rooms.
The Wallman Wellness Center was built in 2001, with an earlier addition completed in 2007. The center also houses the Student Health Service, Disability Services and Child Care facilities.
